English Original
Two lawyers, Jon and Bill, head out for their usual nine holes of golf. Jon offers Bill a $50 bet, which Bill accepts.
They play a great game. After the eighth hole, Bill is ahead by one stroke, but he slices his ball into the rough on the ninth.
"Help me find my ball. Look over there," he says to Jon. After a few minutes of searching with no luck, and knowing a lost ball carries a four-stroke penalty, Bill secretly pulls a ball from his pocket and tosses it to the ground.
"I've found my ball!" he announces.
"After all the years we've been partners and played together," Jon says, "you'd cheat me out of a lousy fifty bucks?"
"What do you mean, cheat? I found my ball sitting right there!"
"And you're a liar, too!" Jon replies. "I'll have you know I've been standing on your ball for the last five minutes!"

两位律师，乔恩和比尔，出发去打他们惯常的九洞高尔夫。乔恩提出和比尔赌50美元，比尔接受了。
他们打得非常出色。第八洞过后，比尔领先一杆，但在第九洞时，他把球切进了长草区。
“帮我找找我的球。去那边看看，”他对乔恩说。几分钟后，两人都一无所获。想到丢球要被罚四杆，比尔偷偷从口袋里掏出一个球，扔到地上。
“我找到我的球了！”他宣布道。
“我们做了这么多年搭档，一起打了这么久球，”乔恩说，“你就为这区区五十块钱骗我？”
“你什么意思，骗你？我的球就在那儿找到的！”
“你还是个骗子呢！”乔恩回应道，“我得告诉你，过去五分钟我一直踩在你的球上！”
